For a quarter-back perspective of this esteem to fall from the third round is very unusual in the NFL.
The best hopes like Sanders have seen shocking slides in the past projects of the NFL. Aaron Rodgers slipped to the 25th choice in total to the 2005 NFL recovery and was transmitted for Alex Smith by the 49ers.
Patrick Mahomes was not made before the 10th choice of draft 2017 and was transmitted to Mitch Trubisky by the Bears. However, at the time, Mahomes was less an excited perspective than Sanders.
Lamar Jackson fell to the 32nd choice in the 2018 draft, after four other quarters were swept before him.
But Sanders, who was once considered the best candidate to go n ° 1 in total this year, falling on the third day of the draft, is a historic Anamoly.
To make matters worse for himself, Sanders was made by an impostor during a live film Friday evening.
While he and his family were broadcast live on the second day of their NFL recovery evening on Twitch on Friday evening, Sanders was seen by responding to a telephone call that he supposed from a director general who made the decision to write him.
Then the appellant told the impatient young athlete that he had to “wait a little longer”, while Sanders’ smile quickly faded.
The decision of the NFL teams not to write Sanders caused mass controversy and a debate throughout the draft, and even before that, the rumors of Sanders who fall in draft have become public.
An anonymous NFL coach recently declared that NFL network Sanders was “the worst formal interview in which I have never been in my life”.
“He is so right. He takes unnecessary bags. He never plays in time. He has horrible body language. He blames his teammates,” continued the coach. “But the biggest thing is that it is not so good.”
Another long -standing leader of the AFC has echoed this feeling, saying at the point of sale: “It did not go well in our interview. He wants to dictate what he is going to do and what is best for him. He makes you feel little.”
The superstar of the Kansas City chiefs, Patrick Mahomes, apparently alluded to the Sanders Draft goalkeeper in a post later Friday, simply writing “Crazy”.
President Donald Trump even joined the debate on Friday, when he torn the NFL’s “stupid” owners for transmitting the quarter-Arrière of the Colorado star and allowed him to fall in the second round.
“What’s wrong with the owners of the NFL, are they stupid? Deion Sanders was a great university football player, and was even bigger in the NFL. He is also a very good coach, Streetwise and Intelligent! Post social post.
“He should be” chosen “immediately by a team who wants to win. Good luck shemer, and say hello to your wonderful father!”
Now Sanders will have to wait until the third day of the draft to hear his name called, if he is called at all.
However, he apparently expressed his gratitude and patience throughout the process despite the dramatic slide.
In a post late Friday evening, when the third round was coming to an end, Sanders thanked Go.
“Thank you God for everything,” he wrote.
